If I am arriving from Dublin at 3:35 pm, and departing for Minneapolis at 5:05 pm, is this enough time to transfer at IAD? Flights are booked together and on airlines with a codeshare agreement (United Airlines and Are Lingus). Thanks very much in advance for your help!

You will pre-clear US Immigration and Customs in Dublin. All you have to do is go from your arrival gate in the B concourse to your departure gate in the A, C, or D concourse. You should have enough time.

IAD only has one terminal, but their flights can use the A, C, or D gates. A is connected to C and D by the aerotrain and mobile lounge inside security. C and D are just two sides of the same building.

I am seeking some help reassurance for my daughter.
She has booked a flight with United f0on 31/08/15, from LAS to IAD departing 1.26pm arriving 9.04pm. Her flight with British Airways to Heathrow leaves at 10.25pm. I thought this was too close for comfort, but looking at BA website it says boarding gate closes 15 min before.
Providing she does online checkin do you think she would have enough time to collect her bag, clear customs (does she has to clear customs?), check her bag in with BA and get to the gate? I think BA go from Terminal B at Dulles.
Mnay thanks

You do not go through US Customs when exiting the US. Dulles only has one terminal. She will likely not have enough time to claim her bag and get it to the British Airways check-in counter before the checked bag cutoff. She needs an earlier flight to IAD or to plan on spending the night in DC.

I booked a flight from Montreal(CA) to São Paulo(BRAZIL) flying United one ticket. Arriving (Wednesday) in IAD at 21:13 and leaving to GRU at 22:00 (47 minutes). I know it's tight but it's possible to do customs and not lose the connection? I called United and they confirmed that my luggage go from YUL directly to GRU. Thank you

You will pre-clear US Immigration and Customs in Montreal. There is no US Customs when leaving the US. All you have to do in IAD is go from your arrival gate to your departure gate. If your flight from Montreal is on-time it's possible.

We are travelling United Airlines UA1985 from LAX to IAH and have 35 mins to make a connection with UA924 for LHR. We are travelling with our 4 year old daughter - will we have enough time please?
Thanks

I am arriving from Las Vegas at - hopefully - 4:39pm on DELTA. I then have a19:00 to LHR with Virgin Atlantic. It should be enough time, but could I ask DELTA to check-in the bags with Virgin? The tickets were booked separately.

I will be arriving from Vegas at 3:47pm at Dulles International Airport (United Airlines) and my connecting plane is at 5:25 for Francfurt, Germany (United Airlines) departing from IAD. Will there be enough time ? Thanks

Thank you very much ZAP for the quick and precise anwser :)
Do you think luggages can be checked at LAS for the whole trip as both are UA flights ? I had to purchase tickets separately but called UA if they could combine the trip (they said yes over the phone and asked for my 2 reservation numbers).

Then if they took down both reservation numbers when you called they probably did combine them on their computer and the bags should be checked through automatically to FRA in LAS. However, just double check that they are and carry a printed copy of your IAD-FRA confirmation just in case.

Hi guys, we're booked to leave IAD AT 17h40 to Johannesburg on SAA. I'm buying tickets for a connecting flight from Miami to IAD, i.e. Not on same ticket. Is it too late to land at 16h31? How tight could we cut it? Would it be possible to arrange bags to be checked through in Miami?

Hello, coming in from MIA to IAD (to catch a flight to LHR). Two separate tickets, with just short of 2hrs between them. With AA/BA so hopefully getting bags checked straight through.
What are your thoughts on the connection times?
